Our world is increasingly stressful and demanding and many people are experiencing more worry, sadness, and anger than ever before. If you are experiencing change or loss in your life, it can be even more difficult to feel present and effective. Increasing awareness and understanding of what contributes to challenging situations, as well as a willingness to let go of old ways of coping that may no longer be beneficial, can help build confidence and stability in your life.

My approach is to help you assess your current situation by examining the biological, psychological, and social factors that are at play, explore your past in order to understand how it has affected your current perceptions, thoughts, feelings, and actions, and identify practical solutions toward acceptance or change. I draw from a variety of theoretical orientations including psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) — and my work is always client-centered and strengths-based.

Using evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I specialize in helping people with anxiety and related problems, including depression, stress, trauma, cancer survivorship, adult ADHD, chronic pain, insomnia, and behavioral medicine.

CBT is a very effective way to help you do this.

Everyone’s brain works differently. The one thing brains do similarly is create negative self talk. (The Mean Girl in your head). Negative messages from your Mean Girl can create beliefs that aren’t true, causing limitations that prevent you from living a full life. Her voice can be transformed to one that’s more supportive. One that encourages you to take risks and pursue opportunities you may have once thought were out of your reach. One of the most prevalent areas where Mean Girl creates havoc and is criticizing food choices and appearance. Resulting in self doubt and poor body image.

While reaching out for help can feel scary, please know that in therapy you have a lot of control, and I work hard to help you feel safe. My clients tend to prefer the flexibility that being seen by video offers. Often, my clients are living stressful lives, may have a history of trauma, or feel overwhelmed. In particular, I'm experienced in working with people living with anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, people in recovery, and healthcare workers. Everyone is different, and I prefer to shape how we work together based on your individual needs and goals. I see clients virtually in New Hampshire, Texas and Maryland.

My clientele seek help with a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety, couples distress, trauma, parenting difficulties, relationship conflict, and major life transitions. Although I tailor the treatment plan to meet each couple's or individual's needs, the majority of my interventions are drawn from the cognitive-behavioral toolset. I seek to understand strengths, as well as the problems that bring people into my office. Using well-timed humor, relevant research information, and meaningful feedback, I collaboratively design treatment plans that feel "doable." Usually, my clients feel relief in the first few sessions.

Whether I am with a child, teen, adult, couple or family, I strive to earn my clients' trust with honesty, warmth and humor; a secure and close therapeutic relationship allows for the most healing and progress. A lot of psychological distress occurs when people feel cut off from or ashamed of some of their feelings. I help clients access and feel compassion about previously disavowed feelings and parts of themselves, allowing for better self-care and self-regulation, and greater closeness with loved ones.

Although I have experience treating a broad array of diagnostic categories, my approach is centered on treating the whole person. I look toward an understanding of the behaviors, thoughts, feelings, and ways of interacting that individuals repeat in spite of a wish to behave differently. My focus is on helping patients hear beyond what they know themselves to be saying, which, in my experience, allows individuals to feel more freedom and less angst in being in the world. I find that I am most helpful with people who want to know themselves better, or feel differently on a deep level.

Sleep is a huge part of everyone’s life, yet it can be challenging to know where to start when your sleep is causing problems. I use cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) to help you identify what’s going wrong with your sleep and how to make it better. Using CBT-I, I support you to become a thoughtful investigator into your sleep needs, sleep habits and sleep-related attitudes, which then helps us identify the most effective strategies to make changes.

Female Therapists
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
